What makes oral and maxillofacial surgeons true specialists in the dental field? We must complete a rigorous education and training program that includes dental school, residency, and board certification. Our multi-year hospital-based residencies often take place alongside other surgical specialists. This experience provides exposure to a wide range of cases, from trauma to reconstructive surgery, and fosters interdisciplinary collaboration to deliver optimal patient care. If you need oral surgery, trust the experts. Call to schedule an appointment: 225-744-2660

After a wisdom tooth is removed, a blood clot forms in the empty socket to protect the bone and help healing. If that clot becomes dislodged or dissolves too soon, it leaves the bone exposed. This painful condition is called dry socket.

To avoid dry socket, follow the instructions provided by Dr. Joseph, including:
- Don’t smoke, v**e, or use straws while healing.
- Avoid spitting forcefully or rinsing too hard.
- Stick to soft foods for the first few days.

Dry socket is uncommon, and most people heal without issues. If any problems arise in your recovery, don't hesitate to reach out: 225-744-2660

Functional. Secure. Long-lasting. That’s the power of dental implants. Designed to be functional, dental implants restore natural chewing and speaking ability. With their secure foundation, they stay firmly in place without the slips or adhesives you have with dentures. And because they’re long-lasting, implants protect your smile and oral health for years to come.
